[RBW] Foss tubes
I had the same problem with a Foss tube - tried several times to find the hole with a water bath and no luck but when it was mounted and fully inflated I noticed that the leak was at the base of the stem- could hear it when the stem was deflected but it did not show up in the water bath under moderate inflation - very frustrating.

[RBW] Foss tubes
I have Foss tubes on my Betty. The rear one is losing air perceptbly every day, but at a very slow rate so it doesn't go flat in a day but I can tell the difference from morning (pumped before I leave the house) to evening when I ride back. I'm going to pull the tube out to see if I can detect anything, but was wondering what the overall feeling is for these now. Keep them or go back to Schwalbe tubes? Riv doesn't seem to be selling them anymore... is that a clue? René -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Will make sure to check those Schwalbe valves. Thanks for the reminder! René -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Foss tubes
Anyone try these yet? How do they compare to Slime Lites? Do they work for glass and wires or just nails and tacks? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Foss Tubes
I ordered one of these new Foss Tubes from RBW (forgot to order the proprietary patces, dang) It arrived with a set of warnings, and a role of two sided tape that looks like maybe a new fangled rim tape, but no instructions. It is explicit about only using this tube with the stated tire size. I ordered the medium - 34-44 for use with a Jack Brown, but what arrived is huge and labeled 1.95 (50) - 2.25 (57). Should I return this tube or try to use it? Assuming the inclosed tape is a new kind of rim tape, do I replace the current tape or install it over the existing tape? Does anyone have personal experience with these tubes and what can they share? Thanks, michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Foss Tubes
Michael, I just received a shipment from Riv. I too ordered Foss tubes to go with my Jack Browns. The boxes are labeled 1.35 - 1.75. I suspect that you have the fatties. -JimD On Sep 13, 2011, at 4:39 PM, Michael Hechmer wrote: I ordered one of these new Foss Tubes from RBW (forgot to order the proprietary patces, dang) It arrived with a set of warnings, and a role of two sided tape that looks like maybe a new fangled rim tape, but no instructions.

[RBW] Foss tubes?
Anyone have any experience using these: http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/foss-tubes-700c/10-014 I'm very intrigued and probably wouldn't hesitate to put these on my rando bike if they work well. The one down side is that they seem to have exceptionally long vavle stems but I'm sure I could get over that. Seems like a nice way to go when running JB greens, Rolly Pollys or Grand Bois tires. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Foss tubes?
Interesting. Pricey but I could see using them on my winter bike. A flat when it is 0 is no fun.
